Guys we got out there now aren't shooters. We very much need Dixon and Brown. We'll be a totally different team with them, I really think Brown will end up being as valuable to us as Dixon and Pressey.

Not impressed with Bell so far.

Speaking of Dixon. What the hell? Any more word? You'd think that at least tell the fan base if he's out for the rest of the semester or something. Give us some idea if we should even expect him back.

Up until tonight I thought it was Haith suspending him, looks like its the administration.. it's all just odd. Do we hold our student athletes to higher standard than the NCAA 2.0 gpa rule?

I don't get it, he's either NCAA eligible or he isn't. I don't get this stuff. I'm glad I didn't have to deal with type of oversight.

I don't get it either and any gpa requirements wouldn't come into play until the end of the semester right? I can understand the first couple/few games if he was heading the wrong direction and you wanted to send a message that he has to get the grades up by semester end, but I would think that message would have been sent by now. If it's as simple as his grades, him not playing isn't doing anything at this point. If it's getting his grades up, he shouldn't be at the tourney now. He should be working to get them up. A lot of mixed messages and I'm just at a loss as to what is really going on.

I'm not sure this could be said any better. Hit every nail dead on.

And yes, the grades shouldn't come into play until end of semester (thought you might of been rhetorical there, but confirming in case you weren't).

Thanks mogray. I actually wasn't being rhetorical. It's been a while since I was in school and didn't know if the rules had changed because continuing to keep him out before the semester is even up left me wondering if the rules had changed. Just don't get it.
